I know right! Are you going to learn them all then?
You should time yourself doing practice ones, and keep doing them till you feel happy enough that you don't need to take time in thinking what you're going to write =))

i'm going to learn them all but focus more on ones that haven't come up yet.

May not be the thread for unit 4, but I would like to say....how on earth does anyone who has no biological background understand the biological factors underlying anomalistic experience.

I mean just reading the thing about temporal lobe hypothesis is giving me the goosebumps...well let's get back to work.

anyone who's doing aggression, do you have any IDA for institutional aggression? The only ao2 i have is supporting studies :/

Not sure what you meant by IDA but in terms of A02 I believe there is quite a bit. Firstly you can talk of the implications of the research particulary with the deprivation model. If the claims made by the deprivation model stay true, they can offer valuable implications for improving aggression in prisons. However the importation model can be criticized by the fact that it offers no solution to the problem of aggresion in prison.

Cultural bias is also evident in my opinion, as nearly all of the research has focused on American prison systems, and the extent to which we can generalise the results from this to other countries, as prisons are part of every country in the world, is worth considering. Does our individualistic/materalistic life style make an impact on institutional aggresion as perhaps compared to a collectivist culture?

Gender bias also comes into it. You can mention how some of the institutional violence, in particular hazing comes as a result of social stigma's of the sexes, such that men have to be "tough". This idea of "toughness" and "proving your manhood" could lead to hazing and instiutional aggresion due to the social stigmas being present.

In regards to Importation model, it is also very different to determine what aspect of the aggresion is nature vs nurture, as both are so entangled and it would be highly unethical to send someone to jail to test the hypothesis.

Much of the research into this form of "aggresion" comes from self report typically done by inmates. Self report obviously has several methodological issues the chief of these being social desirability, but also the ppt's used for this represents a very small population, and therefore the extent to which this can be generalised can be called into question

Could also criticize how neither the importation model nor deprivation model adequalitly explain institional aggresion, but instead it may be better to look at a combination of both of them.
